* MILITARY SERVICES COMMITTEE IS LOOKING FOR WELS MILITARY VETERANS to put together a data base (much like our active duty data base) of our WELS military veterans. If you or members of your family have served in any of the Uniformed Armed Forces, Active, Reserve or National Guard we would like to include your/their names in our data base. We will build military ministry programs and projects in the near future that we hope our veterans will participate. This data base will help us communicate these opportunities to you.
Please contact Mark Vance at mark.vance@wels.net for more information.
Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.
